We are mostly a lucky country, but some among us are aliens. Aliens because we are isolated by bad luck, or by our background, or by our means of arriving here, or alienated because we cling to values not shared by the majority. Aliens in our society receive a special kind of mistreatment, in the hope that they will disappear
